lullabies

We found joy in mail-order chicks, soothing lullabies, a celebration of long-lasting love, the magic touch that can calm a grumpy child (and even a stressed out adult) and beach day in Mogadishu.

In response to our callout, you shared (and crooned) bedtime musical selections that work magic. (Well, except for the mom who tried an Enya song and whose kid begged, "Stop singing!")

Sometimes the right lullaby sends my kids off to dreamland so fast it makes me feel like I have a parenting superpower. Turns out the wonder of lullabies is confirmed by scientific research.
